[Athena Case Study] Streamlining In-Process Inspections

Production is possible with the same accuracy as before! We will introduce a case where a significant reduction in inspection time has been achieved.

We would like to introduce a case study of the introduction of "Athena" to Company C, which specializes in the contract manufacturing and regrinding of special tools. They were processing products with a high frequency of initial inspections and in-process inspections, particularly small lot productions of ball end mills and radius end mills. Although these could be performed with existing CNC tool measurement machines, there were challenges related to measurement time. After the introduction, the waiting time for the measurement machines for in-process inspections became almost zero, allowing for smoother operations. 【Case Overview】 ■Challenges - Inefficiency due to waiting times - Significant time spent moving from the grinding machine to the measurement machine ■Results - Almost zero waiting time for measurement machines - Overall improvement in the flow of the inspection process - For 100% inspected products: over 60% reduction in inspection time *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
